"I hope not every displays such disrespect towards marine life as you. To
play with a sea urchin and destroy the animal for your own amusement is
stupid.
Most sea kayak's enjoy interacting with nature not destroying it."

David, relax. Some of this story was slightly exaggerated. In fact
everything after gently lifting the banjo sharks out of the water for a look
was pure BS. I'm afraid I reacted to some of the sentimental
anthropomorphising of sea creatures which we are sometimes exposed to,
particularly with respect to whales and dolphins.

Gotcha.
